This is a Mac program, but the same thing can be done with other applications with some variations. ToonDoo is a web based application that is similar to Comic Life.
This student compared and contrasted the economic programs of Presidents Reagan and Clinton. After completing the research, the students had the option of presenting the information to the class by any means available. It had to be very factual.
Here is the result; it's the most factual and creative project I've received to date.
NOTE: This student went beyond the requirement. The Comic Life project is generally presented as a graphic without the narration. He printed the Comic Life pages as pdfs, dropped them into iPhoto, made a narrated iMovie, and converted it to a Quicktime movie. This is a good example of a student taking an idea and "running" with it. It's very creative and very accurate.
